Bobcat Breaks Into Nelson Home, Gets Tangled (PHOTO)

Imagine this: you come home to hear some rustling in the basement. You take your dog downstairs with you to see what's going on.

Once down there, you think you see a house cat. But it isn't long before you take a closer look at the animal and realize it's about three times bigger than your typical domestic feline. It has black-tufted ears and a stubby tail.

Yes, it's a bobcat. And Nelson resident Leanne Kalabis came face-to-face with one in her family home when it entered through a basement door after it apparently blew open on Friday afternoon, The Nelson Star reported.

Check out images the tangled bobcat. Story continues after the slideshow:
